I don’t usually read too many Middle Grade books. I often find myself too far removed from the trials and tribulations of the preteen protagonists and can never quite relate. Furthermore, since I do not have children of my own, I usually have a hard time connecting in even a secondhand, roundabout sort of way. It’s slightly depressing to admit that I’ve gotten to an age where everyone younger than me is, “like, twelve”.

I have a confession to make. I am a complete sucker for shows like “Pretty Little Liars” and “Harper’s Island”. You know, the genre of show where I can yell, “Bitch, try locking your door!” and for one hour feel slightly superior that I would survive the wrath of a maniacal killer on a (twinkie induced, maybe?) rampage. Let’s be real, though. If I were in a similar situation, I would totally die. I mean, I’m the comic relief. I’d be the second person bumped off – hell, FIRST if all my Asian friends decided to stay home that evening. Plus, I can’t even really run and power-walking away from a killer just isn’t going to get you very far even if it does prevent me from contracting a debilitating case of the tripsies. That being said, I just can’t say no to a cheesy, teenybopper revenge thriller.
